Welcome to the Website of Carmel International School, Punnapra, Alappuzha. As you scroll down through our site, you will find answers to your queries regarding our school, academic programmes and many more. As the Principal of the school, I feel honoured and privileged to be a part of an educational institution where everyone, including our teachers, parents and staff are learners.
Carmel Campus at Punnapra is a centre of learning having Carmel International School, Carmel Polytechnic College and Carmel College of Engineering and Technology. Being a CMI educational institution, Carmel International School is integrally related to the educational vision of St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara, the founder of the CMI congregation.
The aim of the institution is to provide an education where the abilities and interests of the students are stimulated and motivated. We focus on the holistic development of the students in the curricular, and co-curricular realms, which can lead to the formation of a generation which is intellectually competent, spiritually mature, self-dependent, confident, psychologically and physically sound.
The school is a temple of knowledge with the best infrastructure, committed and experienced teachers to handle all subjects including curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. It is my pleasure to welcome all of you to this temple of knowledge, under the patronage of Mother of Carmel, to become an enlightened individual based on the school motto “You are the light of the world”.
Carmel International School was established in June 2003 owing to the relentless efforts of Rev. Fr Probus Perumalil CMI, the then Superior of St Joseph’s Carmel House, Punnapra. In this visionary endeavour, he was ably assisted by Rev. Fr Antony Kuttiyanickal CMI, who was a Lecturer at Carmel polytechnic College.
We don’t just give students an education and experiences that set them up for success in a career. We help them succeed in their career—to discover a field they’re passionate about and dare to lead.
1st Inter school Taelwondo Championship will be conducted in the school on Friday 22 November 2024.
